Huddersfield will expect Ripon-born Grayson to have an immediate impact at the Galpharm Stadium.

Following defeat in last season's League One play-off final by Peterborough United, Terriers chairman Dean Hoyle made it clear that Clark had to steer the club to automatic promotion this season.

The club's recently released accounts showed a 29% increase in football costs up until 31 May last year, Clark having spent £7.29m on building his squad.

As a result, the club lost £4.1m, the second consecutive year they have lost over £4m, although the £2.5m income from the sales of Anthony Pilkington to Norwich and Lee Peltier to Leicester are not included in the most recent figures.

Hoyle insists that he remains committed to providing funding this season, but says that the losses were not sustainable.
